Philip Mahony says Ballygunner’s Munster Club SHC victory represents the highlight of his career to date.

The Waterford champions came from five points down to dethrone Na Piarsaigh in Sunday’s thrilling provincial decider at Thurles, bagging their first Munster crown in 17 years.

“If you knew how much I thought about winning this for the last ten years, you'd probably say I wasn't normal,” county ace Mahony told The Irish Daily Star.

“One thing we were always told when we were young is the easiest thing in life to do is give up. In the last five years we came back every year and we worked harder and harder, even when we thought we couldn't work any harder.

“We managed to try and eke out another one or two per cent, and we got over the line. Without a shadow of doubt, it's the best feeling I've ever had in my life, it really is.”
